Manganese X Energy (TSXV:MN) has announced a significant boost for its flagship Battery Hill Manganese Project following the release of Canada's G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan, unveiled during the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.
The Action Plan, introduced by the Prime Minister's Office, seeks to position Canada as a global leader in securing responsible and sustainable supply chains for critical minerals — the building blocks of clean energy, battery technologies, and economic resilience. Among the minerals spotlighted is manganese, a key component in next-generation battery production and a central focus of Manganese X's operations.
'This Action Plan specifically encourages investment in mining and processing projects like ours,' Martin Kepman, CEO of Manganese X said in a news release. 'It's a clear signal that Battery Hill is on the right track and aligned with both Canada's and the G7's vision for critical minerals'.
The G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan outlines several strategic priorities: Mobilizing investment to overcome permitting and financing barriers in mining and processing
to overcome permitting and financing barriers in mining and processing Supporting local value creation and environmentally responsible mining practices
and environmentally responsible mining practices Encouraging collaboration among governments, Indigenous communities, industry, and local stakeholders
among governments, Indigenous communities, industry, and local stakeholders Promoting innovation in mineral processing, recycling, and sustainable supply chains
For Manganese X, the timing couldn't be better. The company is preparing to launch its Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for Battery Hill, a project that could position it as the first publicly traded company in Canada and the U.S. to commercialize EV-compliant high-purity manganese.
Battery Hill's choice location in New Brunswick and its alignment with national and international clean energy goals make it a compelling candidate for future investment and development. As the global demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage accelerates, so too does the need for secure, domestic sources of critical minerals like manganese.
With Canada's renewed commitment to critical mineral development, the question now becomes: Could Battery Hill emerge as a key contributor to the North American critical minerals supply chain?
Manganese X Energy Corp. intends to supply high-purity manganese to the lithium-ion battery and other alternative energy industries.
Manganese X Energy stock (TSXV:MN) last traded at $0.06.

Silver Miners Enter Parabolic Phase as Analysts Eye $40 Breakout
Issued on behalf of Magma Silver Corp. VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- Silver miners are early in a parabolic move higher as the precious metal pushes toward what analysts describe as a decisive $40 breakout. Industrial demand is creating momentum for the white metal, with fabrication volumes forecast to surpass 700 million ounces for the first time ever in 2025. Market technicians note that silver has cleared key resistance levels while establishing bullish momentum patterns, positioning several miners for potential outperformance, including Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF), Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF), Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR), Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-American: SVM) (TSX: SVM), and McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX). Multiple investment banks have converged on $40 price targets for silver, with Citigroup, Bank of America, and Saxo Bank citing tightening supply alongside accelerating demand from renewable energy and electronics sectors. Supply deficits are expected to persist for the fifth consecutive year, creating what industry observers call a uniquely compelling backdrop for silver equity leverage plays. Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF) has confirmed that a diamond drilling campaign is expected to begin in Q4 2025 at its strategically positioned Niñobamba project in Peru. The upcoming program will initially target Jorimina, a deposit where Newmont previously invested millions in historic drilling, before expanding to test Randypata and additional high-priority zones. While the company prepares for this pivotal drilling phase, Magma is conducting intensive geological mapping and rock sampling to sharpen drill targets and enhance its structural understanding. With environmental and community consultation requirements now fully satisfied, drill permit approvals are anticipated imminently. "We are excited to start a work program at the advanced Niñobamba silver-gold project focused on the Jorimina and Randypata deposits," said Stephen Barley, Chairman and CEO of Magma Silver. "As announced in our news release dated July 23, 2025, the Tunsulla community access agreement is in place for these two project areas, allowing the Company full access to conduct exploration activities. The work being carried out will assist in refining drill targets for our planned Q4 drill program as well as expand our overall knowledge of the deposits." These crucial access rights were secured through a surface access rights agreement with the Comunidad Campesina De Tunsulla, which remains in good standing through the 2025 season and into 2026. The Jorimina and Randypata deposits represent a compelling exploration target, having attracted over CAD$10 million in historic exploration by Newmont, with standout results including 17.4 metres of 3.06 g/t gold and 128 metres of 1.31 oz/t silver. The broader Niñobamba project encompasses 4,100 hectares and is anchored by three contiguous deposits—Main, Randypata, and Jorimina—believed to form part of an extensive high-sulfidation epithermal system with significant untapped potential. This operational milestone builds on Magma's logistical expansion into Peru, including the establishment of a Lima office and assembly of a seasoned in-country team. Magma's Peru-based operational team includes General Manager Carlos Agreda Minaya, legal counsel Dentons, environmental partner Ecosoul, and field geology expert Edgar Leon Choque. Their immediate priority involves advancing Jorimina toward drilling readiness while simultaneously executing comprehensive mapping and surface work across the mineralized corridor. "The establishment of an experienced operations team we can trust will make a significant contribution to our success in Peru," added Barley. "Peru is a sophisticated, mining-friendly jurisdiction with detailed regulatory requirements that must be strictly adhered to. The experienced team we are involved with will ensure smooth operations for Magma." With a share structure of just over 34 million shares outstanding and all mineral claims secured through mid-2026, Magma is transitioning from asset assembly to active exploration in one of South America's most mining-friendly jurisdictions. As groundwork intensifies and drill targets are finalized, the company stands poised to unlock value from a system that major mining companies spent years defining but never fully developed. In other industry developments and happenings in the market include: Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF) has delivered exceptional high-grade results from its ongoing drill program at the El Quevar project in Argentina, intercepting 1,026 g/t silver over 40 meters, including an extraordinary 18,467 g/t silver over 1.05 meters. The results demonstrate the exceptional grade continuity and expansion potential of the high-grade silver system at one of Argentina's premier undeveloped silver assets. These intercepts significantly extend the known mineralization and confirm the robust nature of the deposit's silver-rich zones. "These results are exceptional and represent some of the highest-grade silver intercepts we have ever reported at El Quevar," said Joaquín Marías, CEO of Argenta Silver. "The consistency of high-grade silver mineralization across multiple drill holes continues to validate our geological model and reinforces our confidence in the significant resource expansion potential at El Quevar." The company is advancing toward an updated resource estimate while continuing to expand the footprint of high-grade mineralization across the project. Argenta maintains a strong financial position to support ongoing exploration and development activities at this world-class silver asset. Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR) has reported strong Q2 2025 financial results with revenue of $43.4 million and adjusted net income of $2.7 million, driven by silver production of 1.48 million ounces across its Mexican operations. The company achieved consolidated production of 2.53 million silver equivalent ounces, representing a 13% increase year-over-year, while maintaining strong operational performance at its Guanaceví and Bolañitos mines. Endeavour continues to advance its flagship Terronera project toward commercial production, with the operation making significant progress on startup activities and processing optimization. "We delivered strong and consistent production in the second quarter," said Dan Dickson, CEO of Endeavour Silver. "The integration of Kolpa is progressing smoothly, with output already trending above initial expectations. At the same time, Terronera continues to move steadily toward commercial production. This is a pivotal time for Endeavour as we build operational momentum and position the Company for meaningful, long-term growth." The company is positioned for substantial production growth as Terronera ramps toward full commercial production capacity. Endeavour maintains a diversified portfolio of silver-focused operations with significant expansion potential across its Mexican asset base. Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-American: SVM) (TSX: SVM) has achieved strong Q1 fiscal 2026 results with adjusted net income of $21.0 million and robust cash flow from operating activities of $48.3 million, demonstrating the strength of its silver-focused operations in China. The company produced 1.8 million ounces of silver during the quarter while maintaining its position as one of the few profitable primary silver producers globally. Silvercorp has also received positive regulatory developments in Ecuador, where the Constitutional Court upheld the environmental license for its El Domo silver-gold project. "We are pleased to report another quarter of strong operational and financial performance," said Rui Feng, CEO of Silvercorp. "Our consistent cash generation capabilities continue to support our strategic initiatives while we advance development projects like El Domo in Ecuador, which represents a significant growth opportunity for the company." The company continues to optimize its existing silver operations while advancing development of El Domo, which could become a significant addition to Silvercorp's production profile. Silvercorp maintains a strong balance sheet and proven track record of generating consistent cash flows from its silver-focused mining operations. McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) has reported Q2 2025 results showing continued momentum toward its goal of doubling gold and silver production by 2030, with the company advancing multiple development projects across its portfolio. The quarter demonstrated operational progress at its silver-producing assets, including the San José mine in Argentina and advancement of the Los Azules copper-gold-silver project. McEwen continues to build production capacity while maintaining focus on its precious metals strategy and long-term growth targets. "We continue to make meaningful progress on our strategic goal to double gold and silver production by 2030," said Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO of McEwen Inc."Our focus remains on advancing our development projects and optimizing our existing operations to create long-term value for shareholders."
